Guilty of Bilking Elderly Out of $1.9 Mil

A Clinton County man pleaded guilty to running a Ponzi scheme that prosecutors say bilked elderly people of more than $1.9 million.

Lavern Huelsmann, 44, pleaded guilty to mail fraud and engaging in fraudulent financial transactions.

He will be sentenced July 26. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a fine up to $500,000. In addition, prosecutors are seeking the forfeiture of $1.9 million in "funds representing the value of criminally obtained proceeds."

This guy won't get anything near 30years, and he will be out of jail running another Ponzi scheme.
